SS Victoria (1896)

The SS Victoria was a passenger steamer built in 1896 by Workman, Clark and Company in Belfast, Ireland, for the British India Steam Navigation Company. She primarily served routes in the Indian Ocean, connecting India with destinations like Australia, East Africa, and the Persian Gulf. She was a relatively large vessel for her time, designed to carry both passengers and cargo, and played a significant role in facilitating trade and travel within the British Empire. The ship was eventually scrapped, though the exact date requires further research. Her service life reflects the era of expanding maritime transportation networks and the growing importance of steam-powered vessels in global commerce.
